Question

Assertion : work done by the gravitational force on a freely falling body is zero.

Reason : The direction of gravitational force and freely falling body is opposite.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravitational force is a conservative force. A conservative force is one in which the work done is path independents and depends only upon the position of the object. Hence work done by gravitational force is zero in a closed path, since both the initial point and final point are the same.
